Abstract
A contact element for creating an electrical contact between a first and a second electrical or electronic component, including a one-piece, elongated, and flat body. The body may include a first end segment, a second end segment opposite the first end segment, an insulation displacement connection site in the first end segment, and a lamellae contact with two lamellae being located at the second end segment. At least one lamella may be resilient.

A contact element for creating an electrical contact between a first and a second electrical or electronic component, comprising:
- a one-piece, elongated, and flat body having:
- a first end segment having a portion extending in a plane;
- a second end segment opposite the first end segment;
- an insulation displacement connection site in the first end segment;
- and
- a lamellae contact with two lamellae being located at the second end segment, wherein at least one lamella is resilient;
- wherein the first end segment is decoupled from the second end segment by a recess in the body so that the lamellae are resilient relative to one another and perpendicular to a longitudinal extension of the body, and wherein the recess extends more than half a width of the body, and
- wherein the first end segment has a support extending in the plane of the first end segment, wherein the support bridges the recess in the body.
A contact element arrangement, comprising:
- at least one first contact element, comprising:
- a one-piece, elongated, and flat body having:
- a first end segment;
- a second end segment opposite the first end segment;
- an insulation displacement connection site in the first end segment;
- and
- a lamellae contact with two lamellae being located at the second end segment, wherein at least one lamella is resilient;
- wherein the first end segment is decoupled from the second end segment by a recess in the body so that the lamellae are resilient relative to one another and perpendicular to a longitudinal extension of the body;
- and
- at least one second contact element having a body different from the body of the at least one first contact element and including a lamella contact lacking an insulation displacement connection;
- wherein the body of the at least one first contact element is connected with the body of the at least one second contact element.
